<p>Hi guys, chance me for berkeley please?</p>
<p>Stats:</p>
<p>International Student from Pakistan.
Not applying for aid
SAT I: 2070 - 750 CR, 660 M, 660 W (retook in May, hopefully much better score)
GPA: not calculated at my school but if it were it'd be 3.87 UW
GCSEs: 11 A's
Class Rank: Again not calculated, per se. Was 8/176 in the GCSE results at my school. Definitely top 10% if not Top 5%.
My school sends a great deal of people to Ivies and other top universities each year. This year we had Princeton, Duke, Northwestern, Brown, Middlebury, amongst others. Last year, we had Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Stanford, Penn, Dartmouth, Cornell, Chicago, Vanderbilt, etc.
Essay: I topped in my school in English Language, and I won the award for best essay writer so I think they'll be reasonably good, hopefully.
Recs: Will be very good, fingers crossed
I'm President of the Drama Club, Lead Role in the Play, done 3 years of debating, won numerous tournaments, shortlisted for national team, MUNs nationally and internationally, won the best english declamation speaker and parliamentary debator awards at school. I've been a regular freelancer for a national newspaper for the past year. Chief Editor of literary magazine.
on the school tennis team this year.</p>
<p>Sorry that no one has responded to ur chance thread, so now I will… (personally, ur username is “princeton2017”, I think people (well at least me) get turned off when they are asking a chance thread for a seemingly backup-type of school, we want to think u really like berkeley or any other school and would dream to go there and that’s why u ask for a chance thread, just my little spiel)</p>
<p>First question we must ask is what is ur major/college u’r apply to?
From ur ec’s, it seems that u are probably going to apply for the college of letters and sciences. Based on that presumption, I would say the following:
-ur SAT is okay, if it was for another college, I would say its a bit low
-ur GCSE scores are fine and GPA is fine
-ECs are pretty good for college of letters and sciences as they are both focused and impressive
-ur international, so that makes getting into berkeley a bit harder as they are a california public university, but not too bad.<br>
-berkeley doesn’t look at race or need</p>
<p>So with all that in mind, I would give u a 40-50% chance as ur SAT should be improved and ur international (again, keep in mind I chanced u on the assumption that u are applying to college of letters and sciences, ur chances might change for a different college)</p>
<p>Hope this helped!</p>
<p>Thank you so much! Yeah, I’m thinking of changing my username, it’s attracting too much negativity. 
I love Berkeley, and I really don’t view it as a back-up for anything. </p>
<p>Yup, I’m applying to college of letters and sciences, want to do a major in either econ or PoliSci or both, and a minor in Human Rights. </p>
<p>Thanks for the chance!</p>
<p>I think I’ll open 20 different accounts, each with a different university featured in the username, so I won’t offend the people on here. lol.</p>
<p>^You’re not allowed to have more than one account. Besides, it will be very easy to figure out that it is one person posting the same data from different accounts. A neutral name would be better.</p>
<p>haha I know. Ok, I’ll do it then.</p>
<p>SAT I 2nd Take: 2290 - 750 CR, 740 M, 800 W</p>
<p>Your new SAT score really helps your chances. You have a strong chance at Berkeley.</p>
<p>I’m an international who did GCSEs too! (and now A Levels 
) in terms of stats, you’re fine, especially with the new SAT score. What are you thinking of majoring in? And will you be taking A Levels too? or IB/AP
Recs aren’t required for Berkeley, what’s important is ECs and essays, and you have plenty of good ECs to choose from (there’s a maximum of 5 on the UC application)</p>
<p>Hi! Yeah, Ill be taking the Alevels next year! Im thinking a major in econ/poli sci and minor in human rights? looks interesting to me.</p>
